Hi all! It's another little FF from me ElvenMaidenHobbitGirl (EMHG)! Alana (snuffleslova11…..read her stuff it's good) is probably reading this thinking….she never told me about this one cuz well I didn't. I'm bored and like National Treasure! And as Alana knows bored make me do weird stuff…..any way I've had this idea for a while I hope you like….this won't be updated very often….I have lots goin on now!
"Class, we have a new student joining us today, I'll let her introduce herself I think." Mrs. Napoleone was addressing her high school homeroom class. Next to her stood a 15-year-old girl with straight dirty blonde hair and tanned skin. And as the teacher stepped away to let her speak she went a bit pale and seemed obviously nervous.
"Erm, Hi………I'm Alexandria…er…Alexy, Gates." She said with a heavy British accent. This caused mixed reactions from the other students in the room. Some smiled friendlily at the new student, a few laughed at the odd accent, and then after a moment a few gasped and one said out loud,
"Gates? As in Ben Gates? As in the finder of the multi-billion dollar national treasure?"
"Which would make you that orphaned girl he adopted because that Ian Howe guy who was taking care of you like left you to die along with Ben and then got arrested!" said another matter of factly.
"Which would explain why you sound British, I heard that Ian guy was from England." Said a third. At this point Alexy was extremely red and staring down at her sneakers.
"Please students, let her talk if she wants to." Said Mrs. N
"Well, your right mates." Alexy said Alexy laughing a little before taking her seat.
This was how Alexy Gates's first day at an American school began. You see it was only a few weeks ago that the adoption papers were made final and she moved all her stuff from her little room in Ian's mansion in Australia to her considerably larger room in Ben and Abigail's Washington mansion. She hadn't seen her Uncle Ian, once her legal guardian and soul provider, since she had witnessed him being arrested in front of Old North Church in Boston with no remorse what so ever. He was no serving 20 years in a federal prison. She had gotten one letter from him though:
Dearest Alexandria,
I hope you are well and enjoying your new life with Ben and Abigail. I never meant to hurt you. I am very selfish, I realize that now. Please forgive me. I truly love you, though I know I never told you. You look just like your lovely mother, my sister, God rest her soul. One day you will become a wonderful, successful woman and will find a young man to love. With luck, maybe I will be there to see you when you have a life and family of your own. I am a good man. I know I was horrible towards you but I am a good man. I really do love you, Alexandria Melissa Howe.
Sincerely,
Uncle Ian Howe
As soon as she finished this letter her head was spinning. How could he lie like that? Say that he loved her? Try to make amends after all that he had done? It was the sappiest most groveling thing she had ever read. The most he had ever done for her was feed her, clothe her, and use his millions to give her whatever she wanted. She was positively sick. She stuffed the letter under her bed and dissolved into tears.
